Tis’ the season to break out those crazy holiday recipes, and let’s be thankful for the ones that work!

Every year, cranberries are the one ingredient that I can’t seem to find a place for. I love them, but can’t bear the sight of that cylindrical slab or goopy sauce. After a myriad of berry-big failures, I’ve vowed to take a lighter, simpler approach: a salad.

Any big dinner requires a lot of dish prepping time. If you’re like me, and want a quick way to incorporate holiday favorites, I encourage you to try this healthy option.
